Yeah, the earliest models are literally 3D only as discussed in the article, they have separate pass through cable for your existing 2D graphics because even just making a flat 2D window isn't viable directly, Glide really wants to render only textured triangles which is fine for Quake but no good for Windows.
- jrootabega 2y agoI had one of those 3D-only cards on my first computer. I didn't know about the passthrough and got pretty annoyed that my games sucked and never worked with the hardware 3D stack. I don't know if they didn't document it correctly, or if I just missed it. But when some support person finally told me, I was so pumped. I spent a while manually moving the cable to the 3D card when playing a game, until I finally got a passthrough cable.
